Walt Disney World is by far the largest Disney-owned resort in its lineup. Aside from having the most individual theme parks, the property stretches an awe-inspiring 27,520 acres, a huge difference from the 500 acres that make up Disneyland Resort in California. But it is not the size alone that makes Walt Disney World the most immersive vacation experience, it is every little facet from the moment you pass the entrance gates. We call this the “Disney Bubble.”

What is the ‘Disney Bubble?’

The “Disney Bubble” is the total immersion into the Disney vacation experience that is created upon your arrival at Walt Disney World. Once you are on the property for a vacation, you are no longer in Orlando, you are in Disney!

Everything feels different inside. The road signs are purple (and sometimes blue), buses wrapped in Disney characters whizz by, and even the gas station is themed! From here, all the worries of the “outside world” disappear, allowing you to relax and enjoy the magic.

Your hotel is your living space, and you don’t even have to make your bed! All the food is themed and served with a smile. And when it comes to getting around, no need for your car! Instead, you can get from your hotel to any of the parks and Disney Springs with a themed bus playing Disney tunes, a magical gondola ride on the Disney Skyliner, or even a ride on an iconic Disney Monorail.

How to Experience the ‘Disney Bubble.’

The first part is simple: go on a Walt Disney World vacation. Ideally going multiple days to fully feel the immersion. The second most important part is to stay at a hotel on the property. While Partner hotels are sufficient, a Disney-operated hotel is the best way to envelop yourself in Disney.

Disney hotels, from Disney’s All-Star Music Resort to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, are hallmarks for Disney theming. Whether that be a room with Mickey & Friends lining the walls, or a room recreating the golden age of Coney Island, each hotel strives to be as immersive as your favorite park ride.

Disney hotels are a staple of the ‘Disney Bubble’ since they not only turn your “home base” into a themed space but also offer the benefit of Disney transportation.

Which Hotels Are the Most Immersive?

When it comes to choosing a Disney hotel, a lot of factors come into play. Budget, of course, but also what type of experience you and your group may want. If being surrounded by Disney IP in and out of the parks is your vibe, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is the right choice for you. But if you prefer a more luxurious place to rest your head, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa or Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts are the places for you! Personally, my favorite hotel is Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. The hotel is themed to a log cabin, with an awe-inspiring lobby and cozy hotel rooms. It is also surrounded by trees, creating an escape within the escape!
